MIYOSHI, JAPAN - APRIL 22:  Women work in a small tofu factory, one of the few remaining businesses in her village, on April 22, 2016 in Ochiai, Miyoshi, Japan. Many rural areas of Japan have become heavily depopulated as younger people leave for cities and larger towns in search of work and better prospects. Many of the people who remain are pensioners who, according to Japan's Statistic Bureau, make up 26.8 percent of the population compared to the 8.2 percent average for the rest of the world.
